The external cartridge case dimensions like overall length and slightly larger case head diameter compared to the German 8×57mm IS military cartridge coupled with a moderate increase in maximum pressure were chosen with easy conversion of Gewehr 98 rifles for the 8×64mm S in mind. Brenneke hoped that he could achieve a major success with this ...
The .284 Winchester has 4.29 ml (66 grains H 2 O) of cartridge case capacity. The case has a rebated rim and a body almost as large in diameter as that of typical belted magnum cases. .284 Winchester maximum C.I.P. cartridge dimensions All sizes in millimeters (mm). [3] Americans would define the shoulder angle at alpha/2 = 35 degrees.
The .450 Rigby is a rifle cartridge designed in 1994 by John Rigby & Co. for the purpose of hunting large, thick-skinned dangerous African game animals. The cartridge is essentially a .416 Rigby necked up to accept a .458 in (11.6 mm) bullet, although with a higher operating pressure and much of the original taper removed.
A sign of the era in which the 8×68mm S was developed are the gently sloped shoulders. The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles, under extreme conditions. 8×68mm S maximum C.I.P. cartridge dimensions. All sizes in millimetres (mm).
This comparison is not totally objective since the 8mm Remington Magnum and .325 WSM operate at 448.16 MPa (65,000 psi), the 8×68mm S at 440 MPa (63,817 psi), the 8×64mm S at 405 MPa (58,740 psi) and the 7.92×57mm Mauser at 390 MPa (56,564 psi) maximum chamber pressure. Higher chamber pressure results in higher muzzle velocities.
In addition to case shape, rifle cartridges can also be grouped according to the case dimensions of a cartridge, this is usually referring to the cartridge's overall length (COL), which in turn dictates the minimal receiver size and operating space (bolt travel) needed by the action, into either "mini-action", "short-action", "long-action ...
For the AEK-971 automatic firing accuracy is improved by 15-20% in comparison with the AK-74M. [2] [9] The AEK-971's iron sights features an adjustable notched rear tangent rear sight calibrated in 100 m (109 yd) increments from 100 to 1,000 m (109 to 1,094 yd) and a hooded front post. Each AEK assault rifle is fitted with a Warsaw Pact side ...
The 7×64mm has a 4.48 ml (69 grain H 2 O) cartridge case capacity. A sign of the era in which the 7×64mm was developed is the gently sloped shoulders. The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles, under extreme conditions. 7×64mm maximum C.I.P. cartridge dimensions. All ...
